It is a very nutritious and complete dish, for which the following ingredients are required:

First, separate the stalks from the chard, cut into sticks and cook for 10 minutes. Then drain them and set them aside. Also make the canes leaves and cook them for about 3 minutes. Drain again and reserve.

To prepare the sauce, peel and chop the garlic, drowning in oil and adding the flour. Then let it cook a bit and pour in the wine and water. Then add the chopped parsley. Once you have completed these steps, add the clams and stalk sticks. Replace the lid and let it concinate for about 3 minutes until the clams open.
